Description

    Technical Field

  • Background Art
  • Binoculars, also known as a "binocular telescope", is a telescope composed of two monocular telescopes side by side, in which the distance between two eyepieces can be adjusted to facilitate observation by both eyes at the same time, thereby realising three-dimensionality, which is often used in navigation, military surveillance, field observation, and so on.
  • Eyepieces and objectives on inner sides of lens barrels at both ends of an existing binocular telescope are directly exposed to the outside, so water vapour may adhere to their surfaces. In addition, as the water vapour may cause dust to adhere to their surfaces, it is easy to cause dust particles to exist on lenses after a long time of use, and it is inconvenient to wipe, resulting in the lenses becoming more and more blurred, which seriously affects the service life of the telescope.

On the basis of the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
  • The present invention provides a binocular telescope with digital display and laser ranging functions as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 7. The binocular telescope includes:
    • a binocular telescope body 1, with an adjustment shaft 101 for adjusting an angle of the binocular telescope body 1 being provided in the middle of the binocular telescope body 1;
    • a glass sheet 2 for shielding and protecting internal components of the binocular telescope body 1; and
    • a limiting plate 3 for limiting and fixing the glass sheet 2.
  • A mounting groove 102 and a limiting block 103 are provided on an inner side of the binocular telescope body 1, the mounting groove 102 and the limiting block 103 are both fixedly connected to the inner side of the binocular telescope body 1, and the mounting groove 102 is provided on an outer side of the limiting block 103. The limiting block 103 is provided on the inner side of the binocular telescope body 1 to facilitate limiting of the glass sheet 2. The limiting block 103 is provided in a ring shape and is provided on an inner side of an objective barrel of the binocular telescope body 1. After the glass sheet 2 is placed in the objective barrel, the arrangement of the limiting block 103 can effectively limit the glass sheet 2 in a clamping manner. With the arrangement of the mounting groove 102 which is provided with a thread on its inner side, it is convenient to threadingly and fixedly connect the limiting plate 3 to the inner side of the mounting groove 102, so as to limit the glass sheet 2.
  • As shown in Figs 4~6 and 9, under the condition that a composite prism 6 is composed of an isosceles prism 602, a first right-angle prism 601 and a second right-angle prism 603. In the present invention, a visible ray imaged by an objective enters a roof prism 7 along an optical axis 11, is reflected by a roof prism reflection (internal reflection and external reflection) and transmission face 701, then is reflected by a roof prism reflection face 702, exits from the roof prism reflection (internal reflection and external reflection) and transmission face 701 of the roof prism 7, and enters a composite prism 6 composed of the first right-angle prism 601, the isosceles prism 602 and the third right-angle prism 603. The ray passes through a beam-splitting face B607, is reflected by a reflection and transmission face 605, and reaches another beam-splitting face A604. The ray in the visible light spectrum directly passes through the beam-splitting face A604, exits from the first right-angle prism 601, and reaches an observation focal plane along an exit optical axis 20. A laser ray reflected by a measured target for ranging is reflected off the beam-splitting face A604, exits from a reflection and transmission face 605 of the isosceles prism 602, and reaches a detector A14. Due to the reversibility of optical paths, in one of two optical paths of the laser ranging binocular telescope, an emission device 22 may be mounted in a position equivalent to that of the detector A14, so it is possible that the laser is emitted from this objective as a collimated beam. In this way, the group of prisms can transfer a visible light image from the objective to the eyepiece for observation by eyes, and at the same time the ranging can be implemented with a laser beam.
  • An outer side of the limiting plate 3 is provided with a thread 302, the thread 302 is provided in concert with the mounting groove 102, the limiting plate 3 is threadingly and fixedly connected to an inner side of the mounting groove 102 with the thread 302, and dial blocks 301 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to two ends on the outer side of the limiting plate 3. The inner side of the limiting plate 3 is hollowed out, and the outer side is used to limit the glass sheet 2, which will not affect viewing. With the arrangement of the thread 302, it is convenient to threadingly and fixedly connect the limiting plate 3 to the inner side of the mounting groove 102. With the dial blocks 301 being provided on the outer side of the limiting plate 3, it is convenient to pinch the dial blocks 301 on both sides so as to rotate the limiting plate 3.

A visible light image formed by the objective assembly and a red light image of a display 13 may be observed at the same time through the eyepiece assembly. The beam-splitting and image-combining prism system may transmit rays, so as to facilitate transmission of images obtained from the objective assembly to the eyepiece assembly for observation.
  • As shown in Figs 4~6 and 9, the composite prism 6 is composed of the first right-angle prism 601, the isosceles prism 602 and the second right-angle prism 603, where the first right-angle prism 601 and the second right-angle prism 603 have the same shape and symmetrically abut on two isosceles faces of the isosceles prism 602, respectively. Wherein the beam-splitting face A is formed by coating a beam splitting film on the hypotenuse faces of the first right-angle prism, and the beam-splitting face B is formed by coating a beam splitting film on the hypotenuse faces of the second right-angle prism.

  • The composite prism 6 has only one beam-splitting face A604, a detector B15 is arranged in parallel on a reflection and transmission face 605 of the third right-angle prism 606, the observation focal plane on the outside of the first right-angle prism 601 is provided with a transmission-type display device 12, and the transmission-type display device 12 may be an LCD or an OLED. The transmission-type display device 12 may display the graphics and text information as: graphs, signs, symbols, or characters.
  • The reflection and transmission face 605 and the beam-splitting face A604 are provided on an inner side of the composite prism 6. A roof prism reflection (internal reflection and external reflection) and transmission face 701 and a roof prism reflection face 702 are provided on an inner side of the roof prism 7. An incident ray 11 is transmitted inside the binocular telescope body 1, and the incident ray 11 passes through the objective assembly from a side of an objective of the binocular telescope body 1, then passes through the beam-splitting and image-combining prism system, and finally passes through the eyepiece assembly to reach eyes, where a transmission direction in the beam-splitting and image-combining prism system is as follows: the incident ray 11 passes through the roof prism 7 and is transmitted to the roof prism reflection (internal reflection and external reflection) and transmission face 701, is reflected by the roof prism reflection (internal reflection and external reflection) and transmission face 701 onto the roof prism reflection face 702, then is reflected by the roof prism reflection face 702 to the first reflection and transmission face 605, and passes through the beam-splitting face A604 into the eyepiece assembly and thus into the eyes.
  • Wherein, the beam-splitting face A604 is formed by coating the entire hypotenuse face of the first right-angle prism 601 with a beam-splitting film.The requirements for the coating of the beam splitting surface A604 include the following: under the condition that a wavelength is 400~635±15nm, Tave≥98%, Tmin≥96%, T550≥99%,; under the condition that the wavelength is 670~720±20nm, Tave≥90%, Tave is the average transmittance, Tmin is the minimum transmittance, T550 is the transmittance when the wavelength is 550nm.
  • In the present invention, a visible ray imaged by the objective enters the roof prism 7 along the optical axis, is reflected by the roof prism reflection (internal reflection and external reflection) and transmission face 701 then is reflected by the roof prism reflection face 702, exits from the reflection (internal reflection and external reflection) and transmission face 701 of the roof prism 7, and enters the composite prism 6 composed of the first right-angle prism 601 and the third right-angle prism 606. The ray reaches a beam-splitting face A604. The ray in the visible light spectrum directly passes through the beam-splitting face A604, exits from the right-angle prism 601, and reaches, along an exit optical axis B20, an observation focal plane on which the transmission-type display device 12 is provided. A laser ray reflected by a measured target for ranging is reflected off the beam-splitting face A604, exits from the reflection and transmission face 605 of the third right-angle prism 606 and reaches a detector B15. Due to the reversibility of optical paths, in one of two optical paths of the laser ranging binocular telescope, an emission device 22 may be mounted in a position equivalent to that of the detector, so it is possible that the laser is emitted from this objective as a collimated beam. In this way, the group of prisms can transfer a visible light image from the objective to the eyepiece for observation by eyes, and at the same time the ranging can be implemented with a laser beam.
